This Popular Zara Dress Has People Confused

Each season brings with it that one Zara item (or, perhaps a few!) that you can’t get away from. It’s all over your Instagram feed, you see countless people wearing it on the street, and you might even pick one up for yourself from the trend-driven fashion retailer. For fall, however, the first trending dress out of the gate is one that’s more polarizing than ever before. While it’s beginning to gain momentum at an exponential rate, it’s not one that everyone loves.

The item in question is a brown ruched minidress. With puffy long sleeves and a corset-tie front, it’s certainly a head-turner, but some shoppers don’t necessarily think that’s a great thing. Retailing for $119, this ‘80s-inspired look is one we have seen influencers already style for day and night — and it’s only August! You can shop the look here if you're into it.

According to Who What Wear’s Facebook shopping group, fashion lovers are torn. One user asked, “My flatmate and sister hate this.…But should I buy it?!” In response, some wrote, “Love!” while others went for a not-so-subtle, “Omg, this is a noughties nightmare.”

Love it or hate it, we’re always obsessed with that one jaw-dropping piece that elicits such polarizing opinions and heated discussions — we just can’t get enough. So, would you wear this Zara dress?
